I’m toast now…

So, as previously noted, I use the Dvorak keyboard layout. Until just recently, I had the muscle memory only on my phone and laptop. But now… Now I have it on my standard keyboard and the bluetooth keyboard for my phone (see pic below – the letters in blue are Dvorak and the missing stickers are the keys that are the same on Qwerty and Dvorak.)

Which means if I go to a job that doesn’t let me change the keyboard layout, I’ve screwed myself. At my last job I was ok, because I only had the muscle memory on a laptop keyboard and a standard keyboard still had the Qwerty memory.

Ah, well.

So, why Dvorak? Did I give into the hype that I would type faster, I wouldn’t get carpal tunnel, that I would suddenly be really really cool? (… I don’t think I’ve ever heard the last one.)

A little.
